unless the Shields have changed, I wouldn't buy them again. They're very bulky and have no cuff which makes them cold.

We went for Sealskinz MTB waterproof gloves last year and so far so good.

Very happy with my Gore waterproof gloves. Even after crawling through 3 foot snow drifts today and several over-the-bar moments whilst riding on the south downs today, I never got cold hands :)

Will do.
I just took delivery of a few bits yesterday, first impressions of the gloves are good. Not to chunky, little bit of feeling loss from the finger tips as there seems to be a little bit of excess bulk padding and waterproof lining down there.

Will let you know how they perform when on the bike.

I've had my Sealskinz gloves for about 4 years now, used primary for wet (dare I say it hear, motorised enduro's) and now are being put into use for winter MTB. Great gloves, certainly never got wet or cold hands MTB, 4 hour enduro's have found them out, but I just change gloves at a refueling stop, but these have been extreme conditions, oh think their socks are great also for MTB.

I love my Gore Radiators. You look a bit strange when not on the bike though.
